What actually happened
Musk called 2019 'the year of the solar roof' at the Mar 14 2019 Model Y unveil. It was not — installations were minimal (estimated under ~1,000 total integrated solar roofs by 2021), and Tesla badly missed its 1,000-per-week install target. The prediction failed.

At the Model Y unveiling in March 2019, Musk declared that 2019 was 'definitely going to be the year of the solar roof and PowerWall.' The statement promised a breakout year for Tesla's residential energy products. Instead, the year closed with only limited solar roof installations, and the prediction was missed.
